Discount MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Light Brown Leather Camera Case

This leather case is made to correctly fit either the Fuji X-E1 or X-A1 camera (I assume, too, that it will also fit the X-E2 camera that has just been released mid November, 2013). This is a high quality case made fully of finished leather with a soft inside lining made of a super smooth cloth material that has been bound to the inside of the leather. The case comes in two parts: the bottom part, which clads the bottom and sides of the camera, screws into the tripod mount, and therefore can be left permanently on the camera. The top part, which covers all the remaining part of the camera, attaches to the lower part via two snaps. The snaps seem to close well, and there does not seem to be any concern of the snaps accidentally coming undone. Finally, there is a supplied leather shoulder strap that matches the case. The color of this particular model is a medium-to-light brown which, when coupled with the case design, makes for a lovely "retro" look.

The fit, finish, and overall quality of the case make this a standout deal for most any Fuji X-E1 or X-A1 owner. When you also consider the extremely reasonable price for the case, it is easily one of the better cases I have purchased for a camera over the years (I have purchased many other leather cases over the years for a variety of cameras, each of which was moving into the $100 range). Five stars for quality, price, and functionality.

I have used these for a few years to store SD flash media for my Nikon D80 camera and they work well because they can be hooked to a belt loop or to a camera case. Unfortunately the product for the CF flash media requires the use of a plastic sleeve into which the CF chip is inserted. I think the product would be better if it were designed to fit the CF chip exactly and thus eliminating the need for the sleeve like the SD version of the product. The need for the sleeve caused me to rate the product lower.

Out of the several hundred items I have purchased from, or through, Amazon over the years, this is one of the

best values I have seen. Not only does my camera fit into it perfectly, it is also well padded, can be adjusted for smaller cameras, has many zippered pockets, two carrying straps, and the type of quality you see in bags costing 2 3 times as much. Plus, it's a great looking bag. I am completely satisfied with this product, and with this seller.

I was surprised at the quality for how cheap it was. There isn't anything about it that I don't like.

The inside cushy divide walls are velcro, so you can change how it's sectioned off.

It fits my Fujifilm s4500 just fine, with the cords and extra batteries. I like the side bags... well, all the extra places you can place things.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I like holster cases because they form fit the lens and you don't have to remove it. This one fits my Canon Ti2 with its 80-200 Tamron lens perfectly. The camera size guide on the insert says it allows 5.9" inches across the back of the camera, 4.6" from the base to the top of the camera and 7.5" for camera + lens length. It attaches to the neck strap with a 1 inch plastic loop and you can crush it under your arm while you shoot if the bulk bothers you. As promised there is an interior pocket for the lens cover which is one of its best features. The material feels like neoprene and gives your camera protection from dust, minor scrapes and bumps. Note that there is NO internal sling or hard bottom to protect your camera lens from being dropped hard on the lens. It did have enough room to slip my extra battery down in the lens area. There are no external pockets for chargers are power cords but then the idea is to have a day case that minimizes bulk. Nice little alternative to my larger holster that has it all.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've been quite used to lugging around a camera bag with my DSLR and lens but for those who want to bring the minimum along with them for street photography or on vacation may want to look into Case Logi's Day Holster, for that added protection from bumps or scratches, especially if you intend to have this inside your back pack or bag and want that peace of mind that your DSLR will be snug and safe.

The holster attaches to your DSLR camera strap via a tether strap connected to the Day Holster and you can fit your DSLR with a small lens and also a pocket for your lens cap.

This particular Day Holster is black and is made in China. With your DSLR lens pointing down, the size can accomodate most DSLR's via 7.5 inches (19cm), width is 5.9" (15 cm) and height from shutter to bottom of camera is 4.6" (11.8 cm).

JUDGMENT CALL:

The Case Logic Day Holster will suit a photographer who likes to carry the basic minimum while in shots. Although I tend to prefer carrying a DSLR bag or having a DSLR backup to hold my multiple lens, the Day Holster is great for those who want easy access without carry much at all.

With that being said, this is not for those who use large lenses and its not for those who have a battery grip. The Day Holster is great if you have a DSLR camera and possibly a smaller lens like a 50 mm or even a kit lens. Something small. But I wish the Day Holster was slightly bigger to accommodate a DSLR with a grip. Otherwise, you will need to carry an extra battery with you, fortunately there is a pocket that is for a lens cap, DSLR cap and can hold a thin battery (or business cards).

The material is quite sturdy to protect from small bumps or scratches if kept in a bag or around your shoulder, but if dropped, I can't tell you that it's that strong, but I'm guessing it isn't.

Overall, the Case Logic DSLR Day Holster is useful. I tend to bang my DSLR quite a bit into things, especially on door knobs. But it helps to have this holster that is slightly sturdy enough to protect your DSLR from scratches and small bumps.

And for street photographers who don't want to carry much with them. Just a DSLR and a small lens and want that added protection for their DSLR, then the Day Holster is worth checking out!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program If I purchased this specifically for my camera and lens, I would be a little disappointed and would probably award it 4 stars because it is a generic fit (but good enough) as opposed to a perfect fit. There are no flaws in the material or workmanship and it was designed for a generic size of body and lens. What you need to know is what kind of camera I used with this baby. Read on.

I have more cases than I care to admit. It was a trial and error process. I now use only three of them. This is one of those three. The first one is a backpack style case. I use it when I want to carry just about all of my gear. The backpack also has a special pocket for a thin laptop or in my case, an iPad. I go fully equipped only when I am not certain what I want to shoot or might come across. I'm fully prepared with that thing.

When I know what lens I want to shoot with and I need room for a few other things, I carry a smaller case that looks like it was made to hold fat binoculars. Finally, when I just want go with the bare minimum, I use this one. When you go bare minimum, you just need something to act as a cover so you don't scratch your camera up. This case will also protect it from minor bumps.

All three of my favorite cases happen to be Case Logic. I own many other brands, but I use the Case Logics most often.

I shoot with a Nikon D7000. This case fits my camera with Nikon's 18-200mm VR lens very snugly. It doesn't slip right it. It takes just a little effort, but I don't have to force it. Of course with smaller lenses, it slips right in.

The only pocket it has is a small pocket to hold the lens cap when you are using the camera. That's actually a nice feature. Many shooters like myself don't like lens cap lanyards.

Honest reviews on Case Logic SHC-101-BL DSLR Day Holster - Blue

My brother bought me this for my Canon T3i with an 18-135mm lens. I have to say that for that camera body and for that lens, this product works well. The lens is essentially all the way at the bottom, and the camera body has just a little wiggle room, but is not "skin tight." (My lens also has a CPL filter on it too, and even with that extra length, the lens still has a tiny bit of room.)

I had USA Gear's Camera Sleeve USA Gear DuraNeoprene dSLR FlexArmor Camera Cover fits Canon EOS 50D / 40D / 30D / 20D / 10D / T3 / T3i / T2i / T1i / XS / XSi / XT / Xti / 400D / 450D / 500D / 550D / 600D / 1000D / 1100D ***Includes Microfiber Cleaning Cloth that housed a Rebel T3 with a 18-55mm lens which I loved. However, when I sold the T3 to upgrade to the T3i with a more versatile lens, the 18-135mm lens was just too long, ergo I bought this.

As mentioned before, this fits the T3i/18-135mm lens much better and the neoprene seems very durable. So why did I knock off a star? I wish that the Velcro closure was replaced by a snap button or real button I know that in a year the Velcro will gather loose strings and lint, and just will not close well. I feel that with a different closure it would have been more durable. Also, I really loved the shape of USA Gear's sleeve. It looks like a camera, and it was sewn to efficiently fit an SLR, where the Day Holster seems lazily designed. The Day Holster does not hug the lens when it meets the camera body whatsoever and it looks awkward when its holding the camera around your neck. Canon's 18-135mm lens is 67mm in diameter, and there is still room around the lens, so I feel that a 72mm lens would also fit very nicely in here.

All things considered, this is a great sleeve for longer, thicker lenses. If I were to have bought this with an 18-55mm lens I would have returned it in a heartbeat for USA Gear's sleeve. In fact, if you do have an 18-55mm lens, I wouldn't recommend it as there would be way too much room between the end of the lens and the end of the sleeve. Personally, when I buy a neoprene sleeve, I'd like it to fit a little tighter so that it is less bulky. For longer, thicker lenses, this seems to be the best product on the market, however be wary if you have a slimmer lens: it is a bit bulky.

Yep, the camera fit pretty nicely and it stays clipped on like it says it does. The one issue I had was that the little pouch inside doesn't stay closed and I lost my lens cap in the woods somewhere. I have 2 lenses for my canon t3i. The 18-55 and the 50-250 telephoto. The telephoto fits tight, but it fits and that is really nice for when you don't want to carry around a huge bag.

I was hoping this was the "3 case" neoprene case and it was!!! I can't believe that amazon is not providing a picture and description (maybe they will in the future), because they would sell a lot more! I have a w10 and needed a case I could strap-on for kayaking. This is it and more. The case is quality made nylon over neoprane, with a velcro flap closure (just what I wanted, not zipper). It has a clip for attaching to belts or vests (like a gerber knife). It has a little groumet hole in the top flap that a little strap could go through My one wish is for a groumet hole on the bottom, for drainage while yaking. The case fits my w10 w/rubber skin perfectly! Snug, yet not too snug. No wasted space or pockets. The other two items of the "3 case" system are:

1) a stretchy nylon/neoprene waist belt with hip-snugging pockets for accessories. It is not a narrow belt, but suprisingly wide like a fanny pack (maybe 6-7") yet snug like a back support. This too could be used while swimming. Maybe put dead fish pieces in the pockets to feed the sharks?

2) an arm/ankle? band, same nylon over neopren, velcro's around the arm. It looks a little like a blood pressure strap. I would guess it is for snorkling/swimming too. Perfect for active stuff like fishing, boarding, triathalons, etc.

Both of the above belts integrate with the case. They have a slot into which the case's clip fits snuggly.

Pretty cool system, I recommend it! I wish there had been a review before I bought it because it was a gamble. But it was just what I wanted. Really high quality and fully functional.

The case in the picture is all black and looks like leather. The one I received is black and red and looks nothing like the picture. I looked carefully through all the different cases before choosing this case which cost more money than some of the others. I paid more money for this case and received the wrong case. I chose to keep it because it is functional and it is a hassle to send things back. I must say I am not happy about it but will use it anyway.

The shipper: Eye Of Mine (seller) did a FANTASTIC job shipping! I placed the order on Monday 6/24/13 with a comment saying I needed the case quickly as mine was stolen, within the hour I had a shipping confirmation and tracking number, and on Thursday morning 6/27/13 it arrived! Awesome turnaround! Thank you Eye Of Mine!

The case: Seems to be great so far, built tough, has a good seal and has two reinforced places to put locks. I only have two cameras, but have enough accessories for several (lol) and all has fit in quite well. You do have to be a little creative with how you pack certain things (tripods, additional batteries and chargers that you may have I have 3 tripods, 7 batteries and 3 chargers) and my case looks just as packed as the stock picture.

It is fairly easy to see this case wasn't thrown together over a coffee break. This case was well thought out, well designed and should serve the average GoPro-er well. Awesome!

If anything changes I will update this review. However, as of today I am a happy camper!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera case is basically for any camera smaller than an SLR. It is like a regular camera gadget bag only smaller. The internal dimensions are approximately 7 x 4 inches by 5 inches deep. Within that standard block-shaped space you can position two included dividers to create up to three cells to separate your camera and any other equipment you might care to carry along with you.

There are two dedicated memory pockets under the lid. The pocket in the front of the case should not be used to carry anything that is small enough to slip out or smooth enough to slide out, because the pocket cannot be sealed. Things are held in the front pocket by the lid flap. The strap has a nice anti-slip area, which is a nice touch. The case is made of quality material throughout.

A permanent strap "handle" is convenient for carrying it like a little suitcase and two permanent straps on either end can be used to clip things to (or whatever your imagination can come up with).

It's a nice, quality product. But...

I don't like a flap whose only practical use seems to be to help keep things in the front pocket. If you were to remove the flap and make the front pocket sealable, you'd have a better product in my opinion. In case you didn't know, the contents of this case are kept safe because the lid is zippered. The latchable flap is just an annoyance to me.

There's one other weird thing. I would have liked it much better if the shoulder/neck strap and the small permanent carry strap were located in the middle of the case, right over the center of gravity, rather than on the corner of the case. Unless you carry it in your hands, using one of the two straps will cause the case to be tilted. That's just weird and awkward to me.

I gave it four stars instead of three because the very features that I don't like may be useful to someone else. The material is tough and the design is simple. But the flap and the offset carrying straps bother me.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera bag is suited toward either smaller SLR cameras or camcorders. It is being marketed as a bag for 4/3rd's style SLR's, but it has many uses beyond that as well (my Nikon D50 and lens can fit). Overall, the construction and quality is nice, however, for the price I would have expected better design, ergonomics and storage options.

Pros:

-Good material construction

-Small & lightweight

-2 dividers than can be placed anywhere within the bag

-2 memory card pouches

-Buckles and zipper closure provide options

-Clean, sleek look

Cons:

-Interior bag fabric not bonded to the padding could come loose or stretched after repeated repositioning of the dividers

-Expensive for the small size and limited storage options

-No zippered/velcro pockets other than for memory cards.

-Poor carrying ergonomics the strap and handle are positioned off-center, and feels like the camera can fall out if the flap isn't zippered shut.

The exterior construction is nice, the top flap can be either zipped shut, or simply buckled. The watchout here is that the strap and handle are not placed well. If your camera is in the bag, but the bag isn't zipped or buckled, you may find the camera tumbling out as you pick up the bag. Additionally, with the buckles attached to the underside of the flap, they're hard to get to and limited in adjustment.

Two dividers, one full depth and one 1/2 depth, allow you to create up to 3 compartments inside the bag, or you can remove them completely. The dividers stick anywhere within the bag, not just in certain spots. This lets you fully customize the interior. If you often rearrange the dividers, be aware that as you pull them off the sides, it tends to stretch the interior fabric. Over time, I could see the fabric stretching out.

Removing all the dividers, I was able to fit my Nikon D50 camera with 15-105mm lens in the bag. Granted, nothing else would fit, but this does make it a suitable bag for entry-level DSLR owners your camera and lens will fit, but you just won't have extra room. That makes this bag nice when you only want to carry just a camera and its lens, and don't want to deal with a huge bag.

With only one general-use pocket, which cannot be secured, valuables like a tripod mount, battery, etc don't feel secure. I would've preferred the pocket to either zip shut or at least have a velco tab, especially with the way the bag flips forward when picked up by the handle or strap.

I'm honestly stuck between 3 and 4 stars on this one, but feel it fell short on overall value ($50 at the time of this review). It's a quality bag, but a bit pricey and could've had some better ergonomic and design options. A simple bag might be worth the cost if it's perfectly designed, but I don't think Lowepro hit the mark on this one.

Honest reviews on Lowepro ILC Classic 100 Camera Case - Black

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The interior dimensions of this bag are approximately 7" x 4" x 5". It looks like a little lunch bag actually. It is well padded. I like that the padded separators are adjustable (with velcro). The position of the shoulder strap is kind of strange, located at the back of the bag. This is not a problem when I'm wearing the bag over my shoulders, but when I'm handling the bag it tends to tip forwards. A bit awkward, but I guess this will just take some getting used to. I like the small handle on the back of the bag. It has two small interior pockets for memory cards. Overall I would say that this is a good quality camera bag, but too expensive at the current price of just under fifty dollars.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have probably a half a dozen LowePro bags (the downside of having a photography hobby) and this bag is the first one that I thought was a bit of a disappointment. I like pockets on camera bags because there's no shortage of stuff you carry, from memory cards to misc cables.

Like all of the LowePro bags I have, they're built ruggedly very well padded and can handle some abuse. Something this small should feel like it should take some abuse. The camera fit a T2i with kit lens pretty snugly, but it's designed for those who went for the 4/3rds cameras. I'd even use this for a larger megazoom digital camera.

The price is what causes me some reservation. At $50, it's far more expensive than their other bags this size. I'd recommend something like the Lowepro Edit 100 Camcorder Bag (Black) or the Lowepro Adventura 170 Camera Case (Black) simply because if you've already bought a camera and an extra lens, you're on your way to spending more money on the camera for additional accessories.

This is a decent bag, but the price kills it.

I just bought this bag after waiting for several months for a sale at the local camera shop. I struggled to decide between the 203 and the 205, worried that the 205 was just overkill for my kit (t2i, 3-4 lenses, 430exII flash, accessories like rocket blower, lens pen, etc). Ultimately, the $30 difference led me to the 203, and so far I'm very happy. It carries my kit, my 15.6" laptop (Dell Latitude E6510), power supplies and everything else, and does so with ease. I can even hang my tripod on the outside of the bag using the included tripod pouch.

All in all, the combination of features and capacity was exactly what I was looking for, and I've very happy that it doesn't scream "camera bag!" (obviously, the tripod hanging off the bag can be a bit of a giveaway). In my experience, the zippers are not an issue yet, but I've been told that they will require a brief "break-in" period to really behave like broken-in zippers.

If I have any problems in the future, I'll update this review, but for now (and having only used it for less than a week, but having taken it on a few hikes already), this does exactly what I'd expect and does it as well as I need it to.

Let me say right up front, I have a hard time giving any product 5 stars. So I started right off checking off the four stars. Then I started thinking about what was it that was preventing me from giving this bag five stars? I love this bag. It is just the right size for me, enabling me to carry everything I needed camera, lenses, accessories, tripod and iPad for a two-week trip to Alaska. I found it easy to organize and fit everything into this bag, and I felt like everything was well-protected. The bag feels sturdy and well-made. Everything was readily accessible. The bag was comfortable when worn as a backpack and easy to pick up and carry by the top-mounted handle. I loved the separate compartment which is perfectly sized and protected to accommodate a smallto medium-size laptop or tablet device.

The only nits I can pick with this bag are: 1.) it seems like an awful lot of loose straps dangling off the bag, that it's not readily apparent how you can tuck them in so they are out of your way, yet available when you need them; and 2.) the zippers are pretty stiff until some careful break-in loosens them up.

The ONLY substantive knock is that the bag seems a little pricey, although when you think about the cost of the gear that it is protecting, it actually feels more like relatively inexpensive insurance.

Bottom line: this bag seems a little bit expensive, but worth it! Four stars, mighty close to five!

I bought this backpack as a replacement for a Crumpler shoulder bag, which when full was getting too heavy for one shoulder. The Kata Bug is well built and well padded. It comfortably holds a Canon 5D Mark III (ungripped) with a 70-200mm F4 with hood attached, 24-70 F2.8, 85mm F1.2, 580EX flash with room for a couple more lenses. Pockets in the front flap are handy for accessories and memory cards. The quick access flap is great for when you just want to get the camera without everything else falling out or being exposed to the elements. The included elements cover really worksI got caught in a thunderstorm downpour and the backpack remained dry when covered. The Gecko harness is pretty comfortable; the soft rubber cushions well. Some people have commented on how this sticks to clothing, but I haven't found this to be an issue. My 13" MacBook fits comfortably in the laptop compartment. The waist strap is nothing special. For the price it would have been good for a padded waist belt to be included. Instead this is available as part of a separate kit for more $. I've mainly used this when cycling and it's remained comfortable even after a few hours. Plus it looks great too.

Kata makes great bags this isn't my first one and I came looking for more for a reason. I needed a larger backpack that would hold more gear. I came to Kata because I haven't found a backpack yet that is as well made and distributes the weight as well as Kata does.

This bag is everything it advertises itself to be but read that very carefully ~ When they say they expect you to pack that long lens in the middle of the bag on your largest cam and pack your secondary cam capped they mean it!!!

The inside of the bag where you pack your gear is somewhat sloped? I guess is the word. At the bottom it's maybe 4.5"? deep at the top of the bag it's maybe 3"? (these aren't *exact* measurements). So be sure to pay attention to the way Kata packed the gear in the photos that definitely means something! I tried to pack my gear a little differently on my trip back and I'm not kidding it didn't fit! LOL

I was able to go through and carry on and fit it under the seat in front of me no problem at all. Comfort in carrying the bag FULLY LOADED with a 15" notebook (that has some goofy wrist ledge? that sticks out about an inch) as comfortable as that much weight can be no one does it better than Kata.

For the odd day or two I *forced* the bag to fit my gear the way I wanted it to fit in there and I wasn't having to carry everything else ~ the zippers zipped nicely and held well didn't seem to strain around those odd corners (and yes, packing the bag with one 'full size' camera with lens and another camera with lens and one flash the bag isn't "designed" to be packed that way).

So ~ I give the bag 5 stars because it is exactly what it says it is and will hold as much as it says it will. It is extremely well made and well worth the money spent.

The pack is light and comfortable with a full load of equipment. I had no problems placing it in the overhead of both small commuter and larger planes. I recommend the accessory kit if you plan to carry the pack for any length of time. The only faults that I have with the pack are the shoulder straps and the clips used for the various straps. The clips are hard to open and remove and one broke immediately when I opened it. The shoulder straps take some adjustments to make them comfortable if you are not using the optional waste belt to support the load.

I believe that this is a camera case that also happens to fit the Apple Magic Mouse. The hard case is nice, but the mouse barely fits. In fact, the edge of the mouse rubs against the ripper, which makes me wonder how much protection the case actually provides. All in all, I can imagine that it's better than transporting the mouse without a case, and for the price, you really can't beat the extra peace of mind.

It's a camera case that happens to fit the Apple Magic Mouse perfectly.

This was advertised for a magic mouse, but actually it is a camera case used for the magic mouse. However, I can fit a magic mouse, mobie station charger and cable in the cover and looks great. This has saved me in storage and hassle free when quickly charging the mouse.
